Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 190C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a medium saucepan, a large bowl & a grater

Make the fries

  • Cut the sweet potato and 2 carrots into wedges (peel optional)
  • Place all onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until soft and golden

Slaw time

  • Coarsely grate the remaining carrot. Finely slice the onion
  • In the large bowl, combine the grated carrot, half the onion and three-quarters of the vinegar. Season with salt and set aside
  • Finely chop or crush the garlic

Simmer simmer

  • Heat the medium saucepan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and remaining onion and cook for 2-3 mins, until softened
  • Add the pork (with all the juices from the bag). Cook for 1 min, then add the Cajun spice (use half for less heat), passata, honey, stock and remaining vinegar
  • Gently pull apart any larger pieces of pork. Simmer for 10 mins, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper

Last bits & plate up
